Brazil Elections: Why Are They So Divisive?
Brazil elections pit far-right against far-left as voters grow tired of corruption
Up-coming presidential elections in Brazil have revealed a polarised electorate, tired of business as usual. With more than half of the current crop of Congressmen and women being under investigation in connection with some form of corruption, the polls suggest people are directing their votes accordingly - towards the far-left and far-right-wing candidates. Some Brazilian businesses have joined the push to clean up the system founding a 'school for new honest politicians' - a high-profile initiative, with dozens of graduates running for office this year. We are looking at the reasons behind this deep-seated problem and ask if, with the current crop of presidential candidates, there is hope for change?
